Riverina LLS have developed a hit list of pest animals in the region and outlined management tools to prevent, eradicate, contain and manage their impact on our environment. The LLS are now asking the community to have their say on our draft regional strategic pest animal management plan.
Information sessions are being held across the region to explain how the plan was developed, what it means for the region and how provide input into the final plan:
- Hay: Friday 16 March 10-12pm, Hay Golf Course, Sturt Highway, Hay South
- Wagga: Tuesday 20 March 10-12pm, Commercial Club, 77 Gurwood St, Wagga Wagga
- Binya: Wednesday 21 March 10-12pm, Binya Hall, 5429 Burley Griffin Way, Binya
- Tumut: Thursday 22 March 10-12pm, Tumut Bowling Club, 24-30 Richmond St, Tumut
- Pleasant Hills: Tuesday 27 March 10-12pm, Pleasant Hills Community Hotel, Manson St, Pleasant Hills
Anyone who has a concern about pest animal management is encouraged to attend an information session and comment on the draft plan.
The plan identified pest animal risks in our region, sets regional management priorities, and provides for the coordinated management of pest animals within and across our region.
The management of pest animals in the Riverina is a complex and challenging situation which cannot be ignored. We can only win the fight against pest animals by working in partnership. Pest animals pay little regard to property boundaries, therefore effective control requires us all to work together.
The consultation period is an opportunity for stakeholders, organisations and interested community members to provide feedback on the management of pest animals in our region and across the state.
The plan will be on public exhibition until 5pm Friday 20 April. For more information, download a copy of the plan and have your say: www.riverina.lls.nsw.gov.au/biosecurity/pestplan
